Frequently Asked Questions

Are you already registered or considering attending a Grow with Google Connecticut event? Here’s what you should know before joining us.

Grow with Google is an initiative that draws on our 20-year history of building products, platforms, and services that help people and businesses grow. Through Grow with Google, we aim to help everyone across America – those who make up the workforce of today and the students who will drive the workforce of tomorrow – access the best of Google’s training and tools to grow their skills, careers, and businesses.

We are proud that in 2017, 14,000 Connecticut businesses, website publishers, and nonprofits benefitted from Google tools and that we helped provide $4.13 billion of economic activity for Connecticut organizations (source). And we know that for many small businesses, learning how to harness the Internet can help them grow their business. According to the National Skills Coalition, middle-skills jobs account for 48% of all jobs in Connecticut but only 38% of state workers are trained to the middle-skill level. We’re excited to partner with terrific libraries and community organizations throughout the state to help Connecticut job seekers and small businesses learn digital skills.

We'll have three events in Connecticut during the week of February 11th.
